A reconfigurable modular bend radius control fixture system allows for customization of bend module sections to achieve a variety of configurations with only a minimal number of different parts. The system includes at least one main section having a curved surface with a predetermined radius that provides a first bend radius control surface and side walls, at least one straight side plate section removably mountable to the side walls of the main section, the side plate section having a side wall that extends beyond the curved surface when mounted, and at least one bend radius control side plate removably mountable to the side walls of the main section. The bend radius control side plate section forms a second bend radius control surface. These sections can be mounted in various configurations to form a bend radius control fixture that can be mounted to a mount member of a cable management system, such as a ladder rack. The fixture is particularly suited for assisting management of sensitive cabling, such as fiber optic cabling or category 5 and 6 cabling.

A block-out cover is installed in a jack module to prevent entry of undesirable objects. The block-out cover includes at least one window and at least one locking arm. The locking arm secures the cover to the jack module. The window receives a removal tool designed to remove the cover from the jack module. The removal tool includes a body, a lever secured to the body to engage the cover and a prong with a cam surface. The cam surface of the prong deflects the cover from locking engagement with the jack module allowing the removal tool to remove the block-out cover.

A sealing assembly having a flexible sleeve and a means for sealing a top portion of the sleeve around a plurality of cables, such as by a hook and loop type fastener attached at the top portion of the sleeve. The sleeve is configured to receive at least one cable therethrough and a bottom portion of the sleeve is configured to be secured to a surface. The sleeve can also be electrically conductive such that the sleeve dissipates static electricity from the cable to the surface. The sealing assembly call also have a grommet positioned adjacent the bottom portion of the sleeve. The grommet has a first wall having a plurality of apertures for connecting the grommet to a surface and a second wall that extends substantially perpendicular to the first wall and is configured to extend through an aperture in the surface. The second wall is flexible to protect the cable from sharp edges associated with the aperture in the surface.
